Updates

Two housekeeping updates

1) I just realized that for the past few days, I have been updating the deltas on numbers but not, it seems, the raw counts. This is entirely an error on my part. Consequently, I am resetting all my counts in light of some site changes (see below). I am not posting numbers today

2) Over the past few weeks I have lost most of my interest in following this pandemic. It has not developed to be the crisis I thought it would be. Things aren’t happening as frequently, presumably because all of society is on pause now. We (or at least I) have a general understanding of the biology of this disease and the marginal value of each new study is not as high. Meanwhile, most of my sources of information have been fully converged by the authorities, and have started reporting narratives instead of facts. This makes it harder for me to find things worth reporting

All of this comes together to say that I will no longer be doing daily updates. I don’t want to shut this site down, and I don’t want to feel like my passion project is a massive failure, so instead of stopping entirely, this website is getting rebranded. We are now Coronavirus Weekly Updates. I will start providing updates on a weekly cadence, and if in the next few weeks my heart is still not in it, I will retire this site.
